Hog meat is an expensive luxury down
in Mexico. / never found it out until
the last time I was there, this fall. l
was up at n little mining town, and was
buying some supplies to take up to a
mining camp in which / am interested.
l saw some nice looking sidemeat or
bacon on the counter in the supply store,
when it occurred to me that it would
taste pretty well for breakfast some
morning. 1 ordered the clerk to cut off
ten pounds for me, md while he was
preparing to do it l asked him how he
sold it. You a judge my establishment
when he said he would reduce the price
to me and make it 81 a pound. Well, l
didn't buy it. AS for hams-they never
saw n ham there. The Mexicans know
nothing about the curing of meat, and
the bacon they sell is imported from the
United States. 1t was only quite re-
Gently they began selling meats by the

transportation of Live Cattle.

A company has been organized to
transport live cattle from the west to
New York at express train speed, and
a recent experiment from Chicago to
New York demonstrated the perfect feast
bility of the venture. The cars are built
on a special plan, with all the running
gear constructed with a view to ease of
motion. The rocking and straining of
the common cattle cars, which cause such
a heavy percentage of loss on the trans
portation of live stock, are altogether
avoided. The cars are literally palace
cars, being far better in construction con-
veniences than the emigrant cars in use
on most roads. 1 happened by mere &C
cident to be in a Jersey City depot when
the experimental train came in. 1t had
followed after the limited express and
made a through trip at high pressure.
Yet the cattle were all in good condition,
neither fevered nor dirty, and the cars
were admirably clean and well yentil-
ated. The saving on the loss of stock, l
am told, allows n very considerable
profit over the extra cost of the cars and
the extra charges for hauling at high
speed. The shamefully brutal methods
hitherto in vogue in the transportation
of cattle are well known. Every hui
name person must hail this innovation as
a forward step in the right direction and
n long one, too.-Alfred Tumble in New
York News.

COUNTY division seems to still be a

rial papers. Those published in Lusk

bristle like the fretful porcupine, hurting
forth abuse, predictions, figures, and
charges of mendacity in a ~melodious jun
bic hat at least proves the earnestness of
the parties engaged in the contest The
Lusk Herald now springs the proposition
that is doubtful whether the Legislature
has the authority to erect new counties,
owing to the act of congress passed at the
last session, which prohibited the passage
of local or special laws. 1t believes in the
passage of a law by the legislature giving
the county commissioners authority, on
proper petition, TO call a special election
on the subject, the divided county to as
sumo a proportionate share OF the original
county debt-a as based upon the taxable
valuation of .he property found within
